So we decided to realize the exercise at night. Denizli Fire Brigade has the same devices and equipment as in European Fire Departments. But there is no limit for our goals. We are continuing to work to make it better. Our Fire Brigade regularly implements exercises against fire, earthquake, drowning and accidents. A fact of life, that we should prepare ourselves to all kinds of any adversity. Denizli Municipality's Fire Brigade showed us that it's ready for duty’.
